The real story behind Canadian eggs

The Edmonton Oilers are going to need some help if they want to get over the hump next season. GM Stan Bowman has had a good start to the offseason so far, revamping the goaltending and creating a lot of cap flexibility, but he needs results on the ice. The core roster has pretty much stayed the same, meaning that existing players will need to step up in order to get the Oilers to the next level.

The Edmonton Oilers are opting for an out-of-the-box goalie rotation for next season. Instead of acquiring two goalies to share the net, GM Stan Bowman opted for a more unconventional three-man rotation between the pipes. The Oilers decided to let Connor Ingram go in free agency and instead brought in veteran Frederik Andersen and traded youngster Devon Levi.

As fans of both the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames can attest, the Battle of Alberta can get pretty heated. The testiness between the two teams has dialed down in recent years due to the Flames’ struggles, though it wasn’t all that long ago that both teams were heavy hitters in the Western Conference.

The Edmonton Oilers are preparing for the Mike Babcock experience. For many players on the Oilers, this will be their very first time having Babcock as their coach. The 63-year-old bench boss has gained a notorious reputation around the league as being hard on his players, but it sounds like that is exactly what Edmonton wants.

Canadian soccer fans won’t have to wait long to root for the country at the FIFA World Cup again. The Canadian men will have to wait until 2030 for their next chance, but the nation will be shifting gears to the women’s side next year. The 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup is set to be played in Brazil next June and July, and Canada is expected to be a contender.

The Edmonton Oilers are reportedly going in an unexpected direction with their upcoming alternate jersey next season. Though the Oilers just debuted a new third jersey last season, the team will add a fourth sweater into the rotation for the 2026-27 season as part of a league-wide initiative. Every NHL team will be adding a new design as part of a “Hometown Remix” project by Fanatics, which is expected to include design elements inspired by each city in the league.

You can’t say Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon doesn’t put family first. Dundon, whose Hurricanes won its second Stanley Cup championship in franchise history last month, chose to have several family members’ names engraved on what many believe is the best trophy in sports.

Vancouver might be one of the world’s best hosts when it comes to international sporting events. The city is coming off a wildly successful 2026 FIFA World Cup, where Vancouver was one of two Canadian hosts alongside Toronto. This was the first time the men’s tournament was played on Canadian soil, and the city impressed with a total of seven matches being hosted at BC Place over the course of three and a half weeks.

Alberta had some major representation at Friday’s FIFA World Cup match between Spain and Belgium. The outing, which took place at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, saw Calgary’s own Tate McRae deliver the game ball for the quarter-final match. She donned a black Adidas jacket with white pants as she took the pitch in front of the 69,650 fans who gathered to watch.

The Edmonton Oilers are setting themselves up to be major players at next season’s trade deadline. Fans of the franchise have grown used to the Oilers having little to no cap space at the trade deadline over the past several seasons. The lack of space often limited Edmonton from making a big splash.

It’s every hockey fan’s dream to party with the Stanley Cup, but rarely does it ever happen. Yet, that didn’t stop two hockey fans from getting up close and personal with hockey’s holy grail during the Carolina Hurricanes celebration last month. Following Carolina’s 3-0 Game 6 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights to clinch the Stanley Cup, a pair of New York Islanders fans managed to scheme their way into the team celebration.

The Edmonton Oilers have made some massive changes over the offseason thus far, and may not be done just yet. After making upgrades on the blue line and in between the pipes, GM Stan Bowman and his staff turned their focus to adding another skilled forward to the lineup, preferably one who could plug into the top six.

The free agency market has moved a bit slower this summer than usual. A week has passed since free agency opened on July 1, and there are still a few high-scoring options left on the board. Players like Anthony Mantha and Patrick Kane remain unsigned, despite putting up solid numbers this past season.

A storm could be brewing for the Edmonton Oilers as soon as next summer. The big ticket item will be getting Connor McDavid signed to a new extension, but another threat is looming beneath that. With Matt Savoie set to become a restricted free agent next summer, it will open up the possibility of an offer sheet landing at the Oilers’ doorstep once again.

After getting married to his longtime girlfriend, Celeste Desjardins, last summer, Draisaitl finally got around to going on a honeymoon with his new bride this past week. The happy couple opted to travel to Kenya for the trip, and it appears they got up to quite a bit.
